INTRODUCTION

Channelot is a library plugin for operating Neovim jobs from a Lua coroutine. It supports:

• Starting jobs, with and without terminals.
• Starting multiple jobs on the same Neovim terminal.
• Job control is done via Lua coroutines - Channelot will resume the coroutine once the job is finished and/or when it outputs new data.

Channelot was created as a supplemental plugin for Moonicipal, but can be used independent of it.
